A common tavern that connects all fantasy worlds

Thinking about it carefully, the location of the door is also very strange... It's like Alice who strayed into Wonderland, she grabbed the doorknob in a place where there should be no door at all, and entered that strange time and space by herself.

She really felt that something was wrong, so she decisively decided not to let her father continue to rest, and the few of them either turned around or continued to set off, in short, they couldn't stay in such a weird place!

But as soon as she entered the door, she saw her father sitting on the bed with blood on the corner of his mouth and bruises on the bridge of his nose, hugging his younger brother Scott's shoulders, looking at her in despair.

There was a guy wearing glasses behind the door, looking obscenely at her exposed part, and sniffing her body pervertedly.

If someone treated her like this, she would have kicked her up long ago... But it can't be done now, the man with glasses is holding a pistol in his hand, and the black muzzle of the gun is pointing at her side.

On the other side of the room, a much older man also threatened her family with a gun, saying, "Okay, it seems that all the members of your family have arrived...You, your name is Ya Cob? That RV outside is yours, right?"

Father Jacob, whose hair and beard had already turned gray, nodded: "Yes, that's my car."

"So sorry...we're going to use your car. Richie, don't hang around the door, let that little girl in, and close the door."

This man looked like a desperado at first glance. He was wearing a suit jacket, but he couldn't hide his attitude of not caring about killing people at all. A large tattoo was exposed on his neck. He had a fierce expression, and his hand holding the gun was very steady. There is a sense of authority that makes people have to listen.

Richie on the other side is the other extreme. He looks cowardly and timid on the surface, but his sneaky eyes under the glasses are always spinning maliciously on Kate. Licking his lips from time to time is extraordinarily creepy.

After reacting, Kate finally found out that what the "bar owner" said just now seemed to be right... The ups and downs of her life really came to her.

Before she could think about it, she was dragged up by the man giving orders and stuffed into the bathroom.

"You have 3 minutes to get dressed, spend one more second and I'll punch a hole in your dad's face. Go!"

Chapter 4 From Dawn to Dusk

What can a pastor, or a former pastor, with two underage children encounter a robber with a gun?There is no way.

There is a Chinese proverb that goes, "When a scholar meets a soldier, it is hard to explain why."

Pastor Jacob may not know this sentence, but he must have understood this truth... In the face of pure and direct violence, any theory has no right to speak.

What is the most persuasive thing in a person?A well-mannered, well-spoken priest, or a 9mm pistol bullet?

Even in the same religion, various factions can be subdivided. How to understand a sentence in the scriptures can sometimes completely tear two sects apart; Draw rests.

Everyone is equal before the gun.

Facing the two desperadoes, Jacob didn't even have room to refute. He was directly escorted into the car, and drove the RV across the desert, all the way to the US-Mexico border.

His only hope is that these two thugs haven't reached the point of complete madness...

After driving the RV out of the motel and starting to speed on the desert road, the old pastor was a little relieved.

Although the younger brother of the two is so perverted that it makes people creepy, but fortunately the elder brother is still a human being, able to speak and understand human language.

At least he knew to tell the victim his name first, without any concealment.

Seth Gekko sat crookedly in the passenger seat, flipped through Jacob's personal belongings, and chatted with the old pastor without saying anything: "These are your children? What are their names? Why are they Are the two different races?"

"... those two are Kate, Scott...Scott is my adopted son."

"Whoa, Christian pastor adopts little boy."

The man laughed, as if he was very proud of his joke, saw the photo on the other side of the wallet, and continued to ask: "Then who is this lovely lady?"

"My dead wife."

Jacob replied like this, but the other party still asked persistently: "Passed away? What's the matter?"

The old pastor was already very disgusted in his heart, but the other side had a gun in his hand... and that perverted "Ricky" wearing glasses had been sitting in the back with the two children, staring straight at his daughter.

Just now, this guy took out his braces and stuffed them into his mouth under Seth's call.

It is not a good phenomenon for an adult man to have the habit of grinding his teeth, and he grinds his teeth during the day and when he is awake... The most likely reason is psychological factors, such as nervousness, anxiety or inability to control his desires.

The two people who hijacked the car were both murderous and violent, and one of them probably had a mental problem. This is the worst situation a traveler can encounter, right?Unless it was captured alive by the cannibal tribe as an enemy.

The current situation really does not allow this man who has served God all his life to do anything unnecessary. He can only answer after a moment of silence: "Car accident. She was driving on a slippery road in the rainy night, in order to avoid other vehicles It caused a skid... the car's brakes weren't working very well, and she crashed into the rubble on the side of the road and was stuck in the wreckage for six hours..."

Seth nodded, and it could be seen that the old man always looked bitter and bitter.

But in this world, everyone has their own problems, and even the most vicious gangsters are certainly not born into violence.

Seth he could...understand the old man in a way.Life took everything from Jacob, leaving only the two children behind, that is, family.

This is the same as him.He is also, there is nothing in this world except his own brother.

He still held the pastor's license he had just discovered in his hand, and the old man smiled warmly in the photo on the license.When Jacob got into the car just now, he said that he was no longer a pastor, which also aroused his curiosity.

"Tell me about yourself. Why don't you want to be a priest?"

"Because I get no more out of communicating with God than I get out of communicating with you."

Jacob finally couldn't hold back, and made a sarcasm.

Of course, this kind of innocence and inability to resist could not anger Seth, but it was enough to make him feel uncomfortable.

Seth really wanted to beat up the stubborn old man right away, or kill him and take the family's RV, but he still had sense... not as crazy as his brother.

What the two of them did before was so big that the police on the entire west coast were behind them. It was impossible to cross the border without cover.

So it is him who is more afraid... He is really afraid that this old man will do something stupid, which will cause the two brothers to kill and make a bigger commotion, and even have to give up the RV and travel across the road on foot. desert……

So after looking at Jacob twice, he still swallowed his breath and said, "Don't be so sensitive. Didn't we have a good chat?...Okay, if that's the case, let's skip this mutual understanding The bullshit process is fine...keep things simple."

Jacob squinted at Seth while driving the car, and saw that he had already stretched out his hand: "...you trust me, I trust you. As long as you don't make any trouble, put us Made it to Mexico safe and sound so you and your family can leave tomorrow at sunrise. Otherwise, you'd be more than just shot... Did you see my brother? Did you notice him looking at your daughter Do you have eyes?"

Of course the old pastor noticed, and this was also the source of his restlessness.

Seth looked at his expression, and repeated his own words seriously: "You trust me, I trust you."

Jacob pursed his lips, but still stretched out his hand and held it with him.

But at this time, the passengers in the back seats of the caravan were not so harmonious.

Ricky Gekko's gaze became more and more unbridled, staring closely at Kate's face, and the sound of "creak, creak" began to come out of his mouth wearing braces.

Kate, who was being targeted, only felt disgusted in her heart, because the man in front of her couldn't restrain her expression, and even showed an idiot, making it difficult to look directly at.

"Is it true what you told me in the hotel?" the guy asked suddenly.

"What?" Kate was stunned by the question, and didn't even think of what he was talking about for a moment.

"You said you wanted me to eat you..."

As Rich said, he didn't want to hide his thoughts any more. The muzzle of the gun in his hand was shaking because of this excitement, which immediately frightened the two children on the opposite side.

"Rich!" Seth who was sitting in front suddenly interrupted, "If you have nothing to say, just stay quietly."

Rich shrank his neck, he still respects his elder brother very much.

These two men have depended on each other since they were young. Whether it is robbery or murder, they always do it together... Until now, he still enjoys the feeling of relying on his brother.Immediately after his brother was arrested for Abilene's bank robbery, he went insane, preferring to rescue his brother in broad daylight by attacking a police car transporting prisoners and openly defying law enforcement agencies.

Because of this, the FBI is now focusing on the two of them, and the police forces in two or three states are chasing them crazily, so they have to give up a large part of the stolen money to ensure a retreat, and then run to Mexico... They can't stay in the United States anymore.

This guy just has the ability to make everything big, and this trip is also the same. One day it is said that the convenience store owner gave the police a code, and the next day it is said that the female bank employee tried to escape and call the police. A hysterical way to frantically provoke the police.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Kate could only shut her mouth, shrinking back vigilantly.

She couldn't understand what was said from this pervert just now, what was "I was in the hotel before"?She hadn't said a word in the hotel before.

When facing vicious gangsters, many people would not be so afraid... because what those people do still have a clear purpose and logic; unlike the guy in front of him, no one knows what is going on in his head , I always feel that it is not surprising that he will do anything in the next moment.

Not only a pervert, but a complete lunatic.

Kate Fowler had figured out that if she didn't do something, the family was in danger... but like her father, they were no match for two men with guns.

But at this moment, she suddenly thought of another place... and what the boss said.

Can they really solve these problems?And that person on the whiteboard waiting to be "taken for hire" is really a hunter from another world?

If you use their strength to get rid of the current situation, will you fall into a more serious trap instead?

But which one is more believable, she still can figure it out... The power shown in that "tavern", even if she really wants the souls of her and her family who believe in Christ, it will not take too much effort, not at all. Need to go to great lengths to deceive her.

Thinking of this, she has made a bold decision.

"I...I'm going to the bathroom."

"Oh, I'll stay with you... I mean, I gotta watch her..."

Rich on the side said suddenly, making the girl as disgusting as if she ate a fly.

"...I can hold back for a while longer." That was all she could say, and sat back in her seat.

When she stood up to speak just now, she could actually see an extra door in the small bathroom in the RV.

This kind of supernatural setting made her believe that the people in that tavern would definitely be able to solve the problems she is currently encountering... But as she was closely watched by the carjacking gangsters, she had no chance of getting into that door where to go?

The road stretched in front of the caravan to the distant horizon, and the sky was getting dark again.

Chapter 5 Employment in another world

Before night came, the sun gradually sank toward the west, reflecting the clouds over there red, like blood.

The man who only said a "D" when asked his name came again, silently nodded towards Boss Xue, sat on a chair on the side of the terrace, and looked up at the sunset.

He sat there for more than an hour, unmoved, even though the voice who called him "Master" kept reminding him that "you will die in the sun if you stay in the sun too long, and I will dry out with you."

There was no "sunshine syndrome" and he didn't feel sick at all.

Maybe it's because his clothes have blocked a lot of sunlight?However, he still boldly looked directly at the sun, which he would never do even in this suit.

Just as he was watching the sunset and tasting the fine wine, a burst of aroma hit, and steel fingers had already knocked on the table beside him—it was Amelia, she was sitting on another chair, looked at him with great interest.

"Are...are you bored?"

After a while, she suddenly asked.

D put the wine glass in his hand on the table, turned his eyes, glanced at her from the shadow of the brim of his hat, and asked, "What?"

"I don't mean here... After all, I was a guest once, and I was brought here by others; I can fully understand the feeling that new guests feel when they see these things with their own eyes and hear the stories here for the first time. Shock, definitely not boring. No, I mean you in your own world..."

Amelia said, trying to find out the secret of this new guest through these.

Maybe that's really not a secret... It's just that this guest really doesn't like to talk very much, so that's why he has always been so mysterious.

He opened his mouth and replied, "I really don't have a mission at the moment."

It was this kind of uninteresting response, although it seemed to answer the question raised by the other party, but it completely lost the interest of digging deeper.

Amelia raised this question, of course, to take the opportunity to test it out, to see if she could get the other party's description of his own world; of course, her own personal feelings were also mixed in it.

In the previous world, she had begun to lose most of her emotions and interests in her final years before passing on to the next elder.

The time of immortality is long and relentless, and slowly all vampires will become like that, indifferent to everything but blood, and become the real walking dead.

Ah, she, Amelia, had certainly escaped that fate after she came to this tavern.

Just like the former "death walker" Selene, the more human-like part of her consciousness is gradually awakening, so that she will be curious about new guests and want to ask them what they have experienced.

Since the other party is also a vampire, through this level of questioning, you should be able to roughly guess how many years he has been like this... If the other party answers "only a little boring", then it is likely that he has not spent his time. For the first hundred years, it takes four or five generations; if the other party answers "it is very boring", then it may be an old vampire who has lived for hundreds of years.

If the other party answered "The essence of life is boredom"... then Amelia would not be able to guess which era the vampires were from. Maybe it was the period of the Enlightenment?

But D didn't accept the move, and just answered the question in a straightforward manner.

He... is a vampire hunter, and his daily job is to hunt and kill those "nobles" who feed on humans.

The land was almost completely deserted until nobles and humans began to build settlements along the vestiges of civilization again.Because of the small population, the so-called "hunting nobles" missions are of course not that many.

[88. No. 88]

Most of the time on the journey, he stayed in places that would not banish him, and passed it quietly like a true ascetic.

This tavern, this table, may be just another temporary foothold.

In life, everyone is a passerby, no matter how long you live.

Amelia on the other side rolled her eyes, thought of another idea, and asked him again: "How do you know that we are also vampires? I haven't sucked human blood for a long time...the one named 'Ji Boo's little girl just never tried."

Hearing this, D looked at her again.

This is another question that does not need to be answered... Although Amelia does not have pointed ears, gray-blue skin, or blood-colored eyes on the outside, her soul is already decayed and exudes a strong smell of blood. There is nothing to say... Only vampires who have gone through a long time can have this kind of situation.

Strangely, she seemed more human again than the last time I saw her...

He had never heard of vampires being able to repair their own souls.

If there is such a good thing, those "nobles" will go crazy, right?

Amelia, who didn't get an answer, could only curl her lips boredly, shook her head, and planned to walk back to the bar.

It's just that the man behind said at this moment: "You...you have to persevere."
